The Contract Shop

When it comes to doing client work, there are a lot of moving parts, so it's crucial to have a solid contract in place that protects you AND your client. We create our contracts using The Contract Shop because not only are they legit, but they actually break it all down so that both you and your client can understand it. No lawyer jargon here!

Adobe Creative Cloud
professional design tools
We would be lost without Adobe Creative Cloud! We literally use at least one of their creative software every day and have been doing so for the last 15 years. We love each program in the cloud for different reasons: InDesign is our go-to when it comes to designing brand guidelines, style guides and anything editorial-based, while we opt for Illustrator when we're designing smaller vector and type-based projects like branding, social media graphics, vector and font manipulation.

Flodesk
Email Campaign Manager
You’ve heard it before: consistent branding is key! In our experience, finding an email campaign manager that allowed us to create on-brand emails and build our list was SO hard. Luckily, we found the best one out there so you don’t have to go through the same thing we did because Flodesk is the best place to create aesthetically pleasing email campaigns with their drag-and-drop builder.
